Ben is hyping me to buy Xenoblad Chronicles 2, what say you?

I've enjoyed the time I've put on so far, but put it down. I honestly don't know if it's because I'm British, but having an anime character voiced by a 30 year old sounding guy from Manchester and then a very young looking girl sounding like a middle aged Welsh woman threw me off quite a bit. The Japanese DLC wasn't up when I got the game, sk going to grab that today.

This debacle has affected members of the EZA community, particularly the community members who were abused by Colin and his following but also the people who spoke out initially but went dark when things got abusive (and even avoided this thread because they know Colin and his fans, like you, are following it). And it's been made so much worse because Brandon clearly doesn't care, those people are just "rustled feathers." So no, it is a real issue.

Its funny you think that. Am not a fan of colin nor have i seen anything he has done aside from the kinda funny gamescast (ironically the one with Jones on it). The dude is clearly a dick at the very least. But jones going on it still isn't the end of the world like some of you make it out to be, especially when the issue has been beaten to death.

You know what wasn't a real issue? EZA refusing to stream Senran Kagura. EZA's communication regarding it was admittedly garbage but no-one was affected by their refusal to stream it.

Yes that wasn't a real issue. The outrage for that was just stupid. for the colin thing i understand peoples reaction that was just sad.

Ah, sorry for jumping to conclusions then. I must've mixed you up with someone else.

That said, obviously it isn't the end of the world but for those of us invested in this community, it is an important issue and clearly hasn't been beaten to death if Jones just thinks of us as some feathers he's rustled.

Just wanted to say I'm glad this conversation exists even if I didn't have the energy to engage.

Also proud of the people who are perepared to put their money where their mouths are. I can't do that. I pretended that I didn't buy the new Life is Strange due to principles.

People talking about Dons Design Lab, the dream back during GT was for Don to create Halloween levels for all the allies in Dreams. Hopefully that dream can come back :P

Mandatory Update was pretty great huh? I need to get around to watching some more of that

So many iconic scenes and characters.

Ben hugging a screen with Chie on it whispering to her, Kyle's new Sonic the Hedgehog character designer, Don as a noire detective, Bloodborne: The Musical.

The best GT stuff.

This is now way off-topic from EZA.
Agreed. I think unless it directly relates to his impact on this community that will be going against the forum rules

Man working full time and doing an evening mba has killed my ability to play games. The beginning of this year was some of the most engaged I have been in gaming in years with the kingdom hearts collection, horizon, Zelda, persona, destiny 2, and recently South Park. Recently I have spent the last month on ac origins and still am maybe only 1/2 way through. Still have the 1st evil within in my digital queue to play and hopefully I like it for 2. And still no mario

A Fast and Loose show on EZA would be so great. The patrons will flow in, thank me later.

I think ManUps *needs* the studio though, it's part of what makes it all work.

When the studio comes along, ManUps revival must be on the cards

It needs Elyse!



Did they really? I thought it was all Kyle , Ian and Elyse.
Yeah it's not really the same without Elyse.
Atleast early the writing team consisted of Jeremy Hoffman, Rob Manuel, Rohan Rivas, Rob Slusser and Justin Speer and the three you mentioned. Jon Finger was also credited as the director. They stopped crediting writers at somepoint, probably after the layoffs.

It was one of my favorite shows in the internet :<

Yeah Mandatory Update was great, maybe my favourite GT segment. But even if Elyse came back (which she won't, look how popular she is on Funhouse) after they got a studio, it'd still be hard to write it when it's just 3 of them not working full time.

I only watched a few eps of ManUps here and there before, so I got em all and have been going through them in order of release the past few days. I don't think I would've enjoyed these as much if I had watched it back then, as I do now.

It was really fun watching Blood play Sonic Mania. You could tell he didn't really play the old games, he was always kind of fighting Sonic's momentum. Also the fruitless blue sphere mini game, hahaha.

I wonder what he thinks of the level design. I think it's really good, even if it isn't set up like a traditional platformer, the multiple paths you can go through with each Sonic character make it really fun.

if you check a certain someone's patreon page, an interview with a certain brand manager has been opened to the public

So I'm just about done listening to the Jones-Colin discussion (EDIT: Done now). Not too happy about Jones being on there but ultimately the discussion was fine. Not fantastic, not terrible.
They mostly talked about EZA and Colin praised the EZA brand in multiple ways. Beyond that, they talked about Patreon in general and how it affects their life and kind of work they do.
Towards the end, they address the controversy surrounding Jones' appearance and Colin said he and the people close to him were negatively affected by the various things people called him because they disagree with those. Jones seems to also disagree with a lot of the things Colin has been called which is why he went on the show.

After listening to Colin for the first time since he left KF, remembering his appearances on KF and IGN and listening to his thoughts on the controversy surrounding this episode of his podcast, I would say that the dude is not racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic. He is however VERY rude/impolite, pretentious, disrespectful, unapologetic and antagonistic (described himself during the show as having been sharpened to a fine edge or something by his upbringing which almost made me throw up) and that's why the dude just never backs down from all the controversial stuff he says, whether they be jokes or not, no matter how much it may offend "some people" or how racist/sexist they may seem. This means that, while he doesn't necessarily reject specific groups of people on a fundamental level, he still very much comes across as an extremely shitty human being, the likes of which I wouldn't want to be friends with (and honestly wouldn't expect Jones to be friends with) or support with my viewership or money.

EDIT: Also, Jones said he'd rather be the kind of person who apologizes if he offends someone (you know, like a decent person?)

Interested in hearing other people's thoughts on that episode.

I've listened to the episode as well and nothing really stuck out to me as being too crazy except for Colin explaining why people can only be offended by what he says if he agrees that it is offensive (lol what?) But Jones was fine for the most part.

I know I'm a bit late to this conversation (I've been catching up slowly this week) but I'm really uncomfortable with the way the community's concerns and questions about CM were handled. Unless I see a follow up to address things I'll likely be dropping my Patreon support down a tier or two until we get one. It really does seem like large parts of the community were either summarily ignored or disregarded and that is not at all what I've come to expect from EZA. It's both disappointing and a bit disheartening to see.
